Legal fees for Luís's citizenship application in Curitiba
A citizenship application deadline is approaching and Luís can't afford the lawyer.
🇧🇷 Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil1,330 views
Luís is facing a citizenship application. The hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,100. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Luís has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Curitiba Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Luís could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $35
• Attorney retainer: $870
• Filing and biometrics fees: $195
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you the best, Cláudia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Guarulhos this morning. Greetings from Guarulhos.
I hope things turn around soon. Love from Austin.
